AB Over the last years, the Internet of Things has fostered a growing interest in context-awaremobile applications; this fact is mainly due to highly favoring information provision from multiple Internetconnecteddevices. To identify user context, these applications collect information from the user and his/herenvironment and typically  lter app information, so that the user receives only the interesting and relevantinformation. However, such a task usually implies further resource consumption on user mobile devices,not only regarding battery usage but also in terms of network traf c. Accordingly, although context-awareapplications can improve user experiences in their daily lives, they must ensure the maintenance of lowlevelresource consumption; otherwise, the applications are promptly replaced by less consuming ones, andtherefore, removed from the mobile market. In this paper, we evaluate and discuss several architecturalstyles for context-aware mobile applications, as well as, providing a set of guidelines to decide on theright architecture for a particular app depending on its characteristics. The use of such guidelines whenchoosing the right architectural style can strongly in uence the resource consumption of context-awaremobile applications. Following these guidelines, user satisfaction of a context-aware mobile applicationmay be improved, thus guaranteeing the app success.
